I had the pleasure of working with Rachelle on our Purposeful Play. Together we agreed on creating an activity that not only allowed the classroom to interact with one another but also getting the body moving and occupied.
We implemented music as a way to keep our YDEV actively engaged and motivated in the activity. I believe the sound of music can bring excitement and joy, especially in a classroom setting.
Based on our feedback (+/-/delta), Rachelle and I did a fair job. Our presentation was well thought and organized.
I think the only change that I would make is possibly having more time for Purposeful Play. The class seemed to enjoy and would have been nice for everyone to have a turn.
Playbox Game: Pass the tea, please!
1. Students will gather in a circle.
2. As music plays, students will pass the squishy "tea" around.
3. Once the music is paused, the student holding the "tea" will have to pick a colored bear item out of the container.
The following color represents:
Yellow: share a time when you gave to others
Blue: Share a time when others gave to you
Green: One word that describes "giving to others"
Red: An example of giving to others
